The Vatican, Italy
There were about 1,500 of 'our close friends' in the Sistine chapel with us !
About 35,000 in the Vatican museum that day !
Thank goodness we found an expat Aussie ,who has escaped with her husband from their restaurant in Coogee,and now works for a tour company that employs a very informative, originally American , guide named Cathy.
It meant that we skipped the enormous queue as well.....so long it almost went around the block !!
Glorious ,but hectic!
